Testimonial
Principal, National Restaurant Group
"As the director of operations for a restaurant franchise group, I partnered with Chris to create an innovative business improvement system for management teams.
Our test restaurant's revenue grew from 3% to over 23% in the first twelve months. This growth continued for four straight years, and the restaurant went from barely breaking even to generating $400,000 per year. This was no fluke: the same results were realized throughout the franchise group's seven stores.
We grew so fast in revenue and profit that six years later, we were able to purchase the corporate group. It was a case of 'the minnow swallowing the whale.' The program and the team's willingness to adapt to it bore remarkable results."
